Favorite Bible Verse

Postby DogDoo 7 » Sun Nov 04, 2012 9:03 am

What is your favorite verse from your holy book of choice? Mine is Deuteronomy 25:11-12. From the NIV,

If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.

You know this actually had to have happened or it wouldn't be there.

No, but apparently nutgrabbing during fights was in vogue.

Ezekiel 23:20.

"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."

I think Ezekiel had some unresolved issues, personally.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

John 3:16 NIV 1984



35 As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. 37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” 38 And he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39 And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40 And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” 42 And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; your faith has made you well.” 43 And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

2 Kings 23-24

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

Excuse me if I'm not totally convinced of the Bible's ability to report events accurately.

I'm not sure that was from the Bible.

An awesome quote nevertheless, and one of my favourites.

"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Anyone who has sexual relations with an animal is to be put to death.
If a thief is caught in the act of housebreaking and beaten to death, there is no bloodguilt involved."

Exodus 22:18 - 22:22

Along with...
From the Ten Commandments
#6 "Thou shall not murder."

Ok, which way do we handle this? Do we kill the poeple listed above or not?

Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Perhaps.

I don't actually doubt that it happened. It probably did. But "You know this actually had to have happened or it wouldn't be there." is utter crap and had to be addressed.

"They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines so that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity.

They are my Space Marines ...

Because the way you stated it communicated that you thought it was a rule.
